How Did You Get Your Start?

The summer between my junior and senior year of high school, I emailed a guy who worked at NASA, asking for an internship. I didn’t know they had one, but reaching out and asking is what got me the job.

When I got to UVA, I dropped out for a semester to work at a startup in Silicon Valley. After graduation, I worked at Apple.

Two months later, I uprooted again to join a startup called OpenStore in Miami.

A big part of the move to Miami was actually from a networking event at UVA, where I pretended to be a Comm School student to see a talk with an alumn who worked for Uber. 

Years later, he invited me to a conference about startups in Miami.

While there, I had been talking to my now co-founder about the idea behind Delphi.

The day before ChatGPT came out, we got the wire for our seed money, and in December 2022 we quit our jobs. We’ve been working on Delphi ever since.
